Abstract

Purpose of Review

The discovery that patients suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia who obtain deep and long-lasting molecular responses upon treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors may maintain their disease silent for many years after therapy discontinuation launched the era of treatment-free remission as a key management goal in clinical practice. The purpose of this review on treatment-free remission is to discuss clinical advances, highlight knowledge gaps, and describe areas of research.

Recent Findings

Patients in treatment-free remission are a minority, and it is believed that some may still retain a reservoir of leukemic stem cells; thus, whether they can be considered as truly cured is uncertain. Strengthening BCR::ABL1 inhibition increases deep molecular responses but is not sufficient to improve treatment-free remission, and we lack biomarkers to identify and specifically target residual cells with aggressive potential. Another level of complexity resides in the intra- and inter-patient clonal heterogeneity of minimal residual disease and characteristics of the bone marrow environment.

Summary

Finding determinants of deep molecular responses achievement and elucidating varying biological mechanisms enabling either post-tyrosine kinase inhibitor chronic myeloid leukemia control or relapse may help develop innovative and safe therapies. In the light of the increasing prevalence of CML, targeting the residual leukemic stem cell pool is thought to be the key.

Erhebliches Risiko für Kehlkopfkrebs bei mäßiger Dysplasie

29.05.2024 Larynxkarzinom Nachrichten

Fast ein Viertel der Personen mit mäßig dysplastischen Stimmlippenläsionen entwickelt einen Kehlkopftumor. Solche Personen benötigen daher eine besonders enge ärztliche Überwachung.

15% bedauern gewählte Blasenkrebs-Therapie

29.05.2024 Urothelkarzinom Nachrichten

Ob Patienten und Patientinnen mit neu diagnostiziertem Blasenkrebs ein Jahr später Bedauern über die Therapieentscheidung empfinden, wird einer Studie aus England zufolge von der Radikalität und dem Erfolg des Eingriffs beeinflusst.

Erhöhtes Risiko fürs Herz unter Checkpointhemmer-Therapie

28.05.2024 Nebenwirkungen der Krebstherapie Nachrichten

Kardiotoxische Nebenwirkungen einer Therapie mit Immuncheckpointhemmern mögen selten sein – wenn sie aber auftreten, wird es für Patienten oft lebensgefährlich. Voruntersuchung und Monitoring sind daher obligat.

Costims – das nächste heiße Ding in der Krebstherapie?

28.05.2024 Onkologische Immuntherapie Nachrichten

„Kalte“ Tumoren werden heiß – CD28-kostimulatorische Antikörper sollen dies ermöglichen. Am besten könnten diese in Kombination mit BiTEs und Checkpointhemmern wirken. Erste klinische Studien laufen bereits.
